Craft Corner: Apple Butterflies

🍂 Cool Craft for Autumn

By Melinda L. Willis October 2, 2013

This craft is great to do with your toddlers or other little ones! Mini macaronis as young as two years old can help paint the apples and make their own designs.

What You Need:

  • Apples
  • Paint/paint brush
  • Paper

What You Do:

  1. Cut apple in half.  
  2. Either "paint" the inside/cut side of the apple with colors of your choice, or simply pour out the paint on a paper plate and place the cut side of the apple directly in the paint. Make sure the paint is covering the whole side of the apple so that you can make a nice clear butterfly stamp.  
  3. Stamp your apple directly onto your paper.
  4. Add antennas to help your butterfly take flight!
